Something Brewing was soon left behind by Desert Island Dusk and ELMONO (NAP) here at the start of the month but Iain Jardine’s four-year-old has place claims again as he appears to have the beating of Swinton Diamond. However, it’s difficult to look beyond Lucinda Russell’ charge, who has improved in each run for the yard. The Paddy Pie has scope making his handicap debut after a second here last time but Lovely Schtuff has not improved on a third at Carlisle last month.
